Use Color Theory to Create a Color Scheme

One great tool that you can use to help pick the right paint color for your living room is by using color theory. Color Theory uses the 12 traditional hues along with their corresponding three-letter abbreviations (R for red, Y for yellow, G for green, etc.) in order to define a specific color. Each of these colors can be mixed together which results in a vast number of colors and shades. You can use color theory to create a cohesive color scheme for your living room by picking two or three colors from the same family.

Look Outside for Ideas

Another strategy for choosing your living room paint color is looking outside for inspiration. Nature holds many beautiful colors that can be used to create wonderful interior color schemes. Take a walk outside and take note of the colors that you are drawn to. This can help give you some ideas for interior paint colors that naturally go well together as well as compliment your living room space.

Match Colors to Feelings You Want to Convey

One thing you should keep in mind when picking interior paint colors is considering how you want your living room space to feel when guests are in it. For example, if you think that painting your interior walls orange will make them look too vibrant, you should pick interior paint colors that are more neutral and comforting to help guests feel welcome in your living space.

Sample the Colors Before Committing

The last thing you should do when picking interior paint colors is sampling them before making a decision. You can do this by painting small swatches of different interior color schemes on your wall in order to see which one flows best with your living room space. You can also ask family and friends for their opinions on interior paint colors that they like in order to get more ideas.
